There are earrings coming with a clips that we don't need a hole on the ear.
- What do we call the hole? The hole is a piercing.
- What do we call this kind of earrings? The clips are called "clip ons"
- What do we call the kind of earrings with a needle to go through the hole of the ear? Pierced earrings have posts, not needles.
- What do we call the kind of earring coming with a tiny screw to secure the earrings in place (no clip, no needle) I can't picure this.
